Bournemouth vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League updates, latest team news, lineups, TV, prediction
Bournemouth host Liverpool in the Premier League today in a huge fixture. The Cherries are on the up and are dreaming about European qualification in at least some capacity, having recently made light work of the equally as impressive Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. Three points at home to the League leaders would be another huge statement of intent.
Still, Arne Slot’s side have answered pretty much every question asked of them this season. Well in control of the title race, the Reds were able to rest and rotate for Wednesday’s rather inconsequential Champions League defeat away at PSV.
However, despite Liverpool’s success this season, this is likely to be a huge test. Bournemouth are flying right now and have little to fear, albeit Slot’s side do have to be seen as slight favourites considering their lofty League position.
